Optus Sport Brings the World’s Best Football to PlayStation 5

In news that will be music to the ears of football-obsessed gamers everywhere, Optus Sport is now available on PlayStation® 5.

This means that fans can now watch some of the best football leagues in the world, including the Premier League and Women’s Super League, from their PlayStation 5 gaming console, thanks to the Optus Sport app.

And the timing couldn’t be better, with the Premier League in full swing and the new season of the Barclays Women’s Super League having kicked off on 1 October. Also, this week, Optus Sport launched a dedicated new show, Women’s Football Wrap, which provides fans with a weekly show that recaps the best of the action, reaction and results in women’s football.

Howard Rees, Head of Optus Sport, said: “Optus Sport launching on PlayStation 5 is great timing with the new season of the Women’s Super League now underway, as we continue to follow the journeys of their Matildas heroes, including Sam Kerr, Steph Catley, Mackenzie Arnold, Mary Fowler and many others.

“I know that there are a lot of Optus Sport customers that have been awaiting the day they can watch their favourite team via their PS5™, and that day has now arrived.”

Goncalo Fialho, General Manager, Sony Interactive Entertainment, said: “We are delighted to offer Australian access to even more live entertainment on their PlayStation 5 consoles through our expanding relationship with Optus Sport.

“PlayStation has long been the best place to play and now, PS5 owners can also enjoy the best in football via the Optus Sport app – furthering our commitment to providing Australians with the ultimate entertainment experience.”
